  • After years and years of enjoying my daily glass of wine – red, white, rosé, it didn’t matter – I had to cut back due to some lingering health issues. It bummed me so I decided to go on a quest to find the perfect non-alcoholic drinks and the ones from Saicho seem lovely and look so darn chic. Gotta try them next!

  • I never knew I needed a luxury afternoon tea review to get me out of the house! Finding your blog later in the spring has been the highlight of my year. I got the scoop on so many cool locations, thx a million for that!

  • Biltmore Mayfair is such a cozy space. It’s my go to location for tea time with my mom whenever she’s in the country. Book in advance to make sure you don’t find it full, you will feel like in one of those scenes from Bridgerton.
